Arndorfer said, "This is because the perception was that decisions out here were made in parochial manner. That decisions were made by the LMCD for the benefit of the lakeshore property owners and residents of lakeshore communities. After observing the LMCD for two years, I don't believe that was the case, that is not how they function. After a member is on the Board for a year or so, he/she starts making decisions on the basis of what is best for the Lake. It takes about a year to get that perspective. However, when you look at certain patterns out here, there is some credence to support the argument that decisions are made to benefit local residents. We have tried to take care of that potential argument with the Comprehensive Plan. Adding members to the Board is ore key to the Comprehensive Plan. It should foster communication and cooperation." Nettles asked if it was just a matter of identifying additional slots that already exist to meet the 700 slot requirement? Hurr replied that the slots do exist and it is just a matter of identifying and signing them. Hurr said that there have been conflicts with Hennepin County regarding signing of parking slots on County roads (she used County Road 51 as an example). Arndorfer said that at one point there was great discussion regarding what was considered to be a reliable parking space. He said that they tried to deal with that issue by stating that there should be 700 car/trailer parking spaces in formal parking lots, off the street, near the lake, but not on the lake. Arndorfer suggested that the use of church and other parking lots not in use on weekends would be ideal. He said that a fee could be charged for parking and/or a shuttle service. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS Planning Commission Representative Cohen indicated that he that he had no comments at this time. PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments.

SITE PLAN REVIBN COUNCIL OF PROPOSED SIGNAGE GARDEN CENTER USB City Administrator Bernhardson explained that since the information being presented was prepared, staff has determined that the appropriate setback of the sign from Highway 12 should be greater than proposed. Staff is suggesting that the sign may need to be placed an additional 20' - 25' back. Bernhardson requested that this matter be tabled to allow staff the
